“Nuance has a proven track record in speech recognition. Their
longstanding success is nearly unmatched across the industry, with
eScription winning eight consecutive Best in KLAS Awards,” said Adam
Gale, President of KLAS. “Over the past several years, KLAS has watched
Nuance acquire, develop and deliver technologies that continue to
automate the clinical documentation information lifecycle. Customers are
excited to share the impact and return on investment these solutions are
having on the clinical documentation process. As the need to turn
disparate medical data into actionable information rise, we expect to
see provider demand for natural language processing or Clinical Language
Understanding solutions to also grow. This creates an exciting
opportunity for Nuance.”

“In December, we expanded Dragon Medical across our healthcare
enterprise, enabling 260 providers access to voice-driven, real-time
documentation as part of the Epic EHR workflow,” said Ed Collins, Vice
President and Chief Information Officer, Martin Health System. “Dragon
Medical has proved to be an invaluable tool for our clinicians. In fact,
the ongoing requests for Dragon Medical continue and we expect will
expand to our nursing staff. With Dragon Medical, we’ve been able to
reduce the cost of medical transcription by two-thirds in the first 60
days, our medical record turnaround time has gone from 24 hours+ to
being instantaneous, our physicians can leverage voice-powered shortcuts
to be more productive, and the quality of our notes has increased
dramatically.”

“We deployed Dragon Medical to over 150 providers across our physicians’
offices and because of the success we achieved there, will extend Dragon
Medical enterprise-wide across our hospitals,” said Michael Ripchinski,
MD, medical director, clinical informatics at Lancaster General Health.
“In Nuance, we see more than a partner for voice recognition; we’re also
intrigued by their progress and innovation in Clinical Language
Understanding (CLU) technologies. Through ongoing work with Nuance,
we’re committed to leveraging voice-driven solutions to optimize the way
we document within the EHR, and will explore ways to better access and
interact with our data with CLU-powered solutions.”

Nuance’s voice-enabled, clinical understanding solutions empower
healthcare organizations to capture structured and unstructured clinical
data anytime, anywhere with limited disruption to clinical workflow.
Whether a doctor is capturing information from a laptop, desktop,
